Shipments moving through traditional postal channels (EMS or postal air parcels) operate on a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) basis. Upon arrival in Dublin, these packages are routinely flagged for customs valuation audits, resulting in unexpected tax bills and An Post processing fees ranging from €3.50 to €10 per shipment.
